As a Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) Industrial Placement Student at Collins Aerospace, my responsibilities included effectively balancing supply and demand, improving SIOP processes, generating and reviewing demand KPIs, supporting Production Planners in generating demand metrics, SIOP reporting and review cycle and ensuring the forecast is loaded into the Enterprise Resource Planning.
Some of the projects I was assigned included implementing a turnback system for the site, Transferring the Preventative Maintenance Checks to a new system for the Facilities team and Aligning the Sales Order process for the site.
Finally, the apprentices and placement students were tasked with creating a business plan to reduce the site's energy consumption by 15%, which required extensive research and collaboration with other departments.
